DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

GSR IV Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 10, 2023. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities that the Company has not yet identified (“Business Combination”).

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from May 10, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), and since the Initial Public Offering, its search for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

Financing

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 2, 2025. On September 5, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units including 3,000,000 additional public units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 (see Note 3).

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 655,500 units including 45,000 additional private placement units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full (the “Private Placement Units”) to GSR IV Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $6,555,000 (see Note 4). Out of the aggregate amount of $6,555,000, the amount of $6,550,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Units are added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account and the balance of $5,000 was receivable from the Sponsor, which amount was written off to bad debt expense within general and administrative expenses on December 31, 2025.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $13,509,096, consisting of $3,450,000 of cash underwriting fees, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting commissions which will be paid on the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and $859,096 of other offering costs.

 

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $230,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee and invested only in in either (i) U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, (ii) as uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest or non-interest bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of an initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to offer redemption rights in connection with any proposed initial Business Combination or certain amendments to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the completion window; or (B) with respect to any other material provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial Business Combination within the completion window, from the closing of Initial Public Offering, return of the funds held in the Trust Account to public shareholders as part of redemption of the Public Shares.

 

The Nasdaq listing rules require that the initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (net of permitted withdrawals and excluding the deferred underwriting commissions). Management may, however, structure an initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

 

The Company is required to provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, the initial Business Combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (1) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (2) by means of a tender offer.

 

All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in this offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, all of the Public Shares were presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet. Given that the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the offering were issued with other freestanding instruments, the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity were the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The resulting discount to the initial carrying value of temporary equity were accreted upon the closing of this offering such that the carrying value was equal the redemption value on such date. The accretion or remeasurement is recognized as a reduction to retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

 

Each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting and, if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. In addition, initial shareholders, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in this offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

 

Completion Window

 

If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the 18 or 21-month period after the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Completion Window”), it may seek an amendment to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the period of time to complete an initial Business Combination beyond 21 months. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association requires at least a special resolution of shareholders as a matter of Cayman Islands law, meaning that such an amendment be approved by at least two-thirds of ordinary shares who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote (either in person or by proxy) at a general meeting of the company. If the Company seeks shareholder approval to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete an initial Business Combination to a later date, the Company is required to offer public shareholders the right to have their public ordinary shares redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). There are no limitations to the number of times that the Company may seek shareholder approval or that shareholders may approve to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete a Business Combination at a later date. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Completion Window, the membership interests of the Sponsor become worthless.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” we have determined that mandatory liquidation, should we not complete a Business Combination and an extension of our deadline to do so not be approved by the shareholders of the Company, and potential subsequent dissolution and the liquidity issue raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if it does not complete a Business Combination.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1,550,075 in its operating bank account and a working capital of $1,677,987. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs as a publicly traded company, to evaluate business opportunities, and to close on a Business Combination. Such costs will be incurred prior to generating any operating revenues. These factors also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

Management plans to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date and anticipates that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations until then. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination within the Completion Window or that liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Management continues to evaluate the impact of significant global events such as the Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine conflicts, on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
